Flipside Endorses SOME GODDAMN PEACE AND QUIET for the 2016 US Election

EDINBURGH – In any normal election year, we’d compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues. But this is not a normal election year. A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate — our choice, some goddamn peace and quiet — has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, more bullshit, discloses nothing concrete about itself or its plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway.

We have seen too many amateur thinkpieces about Clinton’s history, too many gifs of Trumps butthole-like pumpkin mouth, and I swear to god if one of you fuckers send me that John Oliver clip again I will rip your throat out with my teeth. It’s just too much to ask of a voter. So more than anything, when we go to the polls on November 8th, we’re voting for the absence of these two pundits clogging our facebook feed. We’re want an America that doesn’t rely on Breitbart for comedy and Youtube clips for news. We don’t want an America that is as stupid as The Daily Show thinks it is. It’s time we got what America deserves: a fucking break
